If you have talent, I believe that talent will win out. In other words, if you're a good broadcaster, if you're a funny comic, you'll be heard. If you know how to do a broadcast, if you're a good newsman, if you can see an event and describe it, you're going to be heard and you're going to be seen. So there's always room. Now with cable and satellite and Internet, it's endless. You could blog, you could be your own talent.

I thought: If I was lucky enough to live, I'd change, myself-I realized I could have a new life-new energy, new endurance, and feel better about myself.

I'm sort of the comic relief after a hard day at work. My message is that it's OK to relax

There is still nothing in life as constant and as changing at the same time as an afternoon at a ballpark.

If you do something, expect consequences

When I was 5 years old I would lie in bed, look at the radio, and I wanted to be on the radio. I don't know why.

You make your own luck. Luck is the residue of design.
